The Marshals Baton Thread!

It is very hard to find/own a baton, needless to say to own the interim baton of the same person to form a pair.

Tell me about it, I also missed the Milch interim when it was sold.
I just have to keep hunting them I guess

This is such an outstanding picture. I've seen it before somewhere, but like it even more now. A completed baton and one still in its component parts -- the tube without the velvet covering -- the various parts for the caps -- the artisan attaching the EK to one of the ends -- the side eagle laying there to be attached. Excellent reference for how these batons were made.

Thanks for sharing, Sepp!!

The formal baton of Generalfeldmarschall Gerd von Rundstedt in the hands of his grandsons.

Amazing zoom on the baton!

I have had the great honor of these two grandsons visiting my house.
It was a very special day.
